I was recently blessed to chat with the ill lyricist and world renowned & prolific emcee and all around amazing artist Mahogany Jones. Peep the Q&A to gain insight & soak in her wisdom regarding the artistry of Hip Hop.

I had the chance to catch up with the incredibly talented members of independent music label Truth Tone Records and have a detailed conversation about artistry, working together as a collective to achieve success and building a long lasting legacy.

I created the Rhythm Related Recollections series for music lovers to reminisce on some of their favorite, not so favorite as well as even comical musical moments from 10 or more years ago. The good, the bad and the ugly. Everything plays its part in the tapestry of our appreciation for this beautiful art. Looking for a particular album or artist? Just use the search below.

Multi-talented and prolific emcee John Robinson aka Lil Sci of Scienz of Life drops some gems for independent artists regarding artistic authenticity, longevity, life philosophies and shares memories from the early days of his career.

In this Q&A, I had the opportunity to connect with 5-Star, Nivek & O'nill collectively known as Dezert Eez.
